• Antioxidants to protect healthy cells from damage (cinnamon, thyme)
• Iron to provide us with energy (chicken, parsley, thyme)
• Infection fighters to keep us healthy (cinnamon has antiseptic properties; cinnamon and thyme have antibacterial properties)
• Inflammation fighters to quiet the inflammation associated with conditions such as arthritis, asthma and heart disease (cinnamon)
• Blood-sugar busters to lower glucose, important if you have diabetes
• Vitamin C to fight off colds by boosting the immune system (parsley and thyme)
